Reply To: Fuel pump not working

[Non MemberParticipant]

Thanks Guys very useful information for me to investigate this coming weekend

When I last checked the fuel line looks to be new with the elbow attached to the petrol tank also like new

Fingers crossed I hope it is just the fuel siphoning back into the tank plus an unusual amount of 28F days that the car was left standing, I have a similar issue with a Land Rover Discovery I own if I park it nose up on my side drive with less than half a tank of fuel that also siphons back to the tank causing an air lock, in this case the Traction is parked level and last week when I tried a can of petrol attached to the inlet of the pump I could see the fuel being drawn in through the temporary clear tubing I was using when the engine was turned over

I plan if possible to run the engine from a smaller fuel can and the reconnect the fuel line to the tank and hopefully this will be the remedy

If not I am encouraged by the amount of support from our members that my lack of knowledge will be overcome by your help

Thanks again and I will be sure to post my outcome
